Giving Police A Fake Name Will Cost Man $150 Fine

A Bethlehem man who gave police a fake name to conceal the fact his driver's license had been suspended was fined $150 Friday and sentenced to time served in Northampton County Prison.

Philip Maurice Waller, 18, of 257 Valley Park South, pleaded guilty before Judge F.P. Kimberly McFadden to making false reports to police. A summary charge of driving while his license was suspended was withdrawn in the negotiated plea.

Bethlehem police said Waller identified himself as John Evans when he was stopped July 29 in the 1200 block of Woodbine Street.
